People screaming "FAKE"
What's the deal with people attacking every single leak about layoffs? They act like every single leak is BS, and then when the layoffs actually DO happen, everyone acts like it totally blindsided them. It's pure copium huffing, and it's bad for Blind. I feel bad for people getting laid off, but this is ridiculous. Polish up your resumes instead of saying crap like "Oh this tweet only has 15 retweets? FAKE.", "source: dude trust me", etc. TC: 435k YOE: 18 Upcoming layoffs that have been confirmed: Amazon, Twitter, Databricks, Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Zoom (yes, more), and ByteDance/TikTok. #layoffs
Fake
ok, based, but also cringe.
We FAANG bros thought we were too big to fail. The reaction you see is C O P E. Reality is hitting too hard.
At this moment, more layoff at Twitter means company bankruptcy. They're hardly keep stuff running day to day.
It's a small one, but it's gonna have wide reaching impact. Musk is the king of "joking words are serious thoughts". When he """joked""" about 75% layoffs a few months back, he was absolutely serious. Currently it's like 60% of the original workforce gone?
Because not every rumor is true, and even the companies that eventually laid off had rumors every week for a year. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
that certified Meta Cope™ But seriously, why is there always a cope for a cope? "Correlation does not equal causation" (I refuse to accept the obviously connected dots), "A broken clock is right twice a day" (you were right but I won't admit it), etc etc.
? Haven't worked there in awhile. Wtf is cope.
Databricks? How do you know?
he doesn't
Same
Zoom already had layoffs.
Yeah, when were ‘more’ layoffs confirmed?
Can't speak to other companies, but at least in meta, the number of daily inaccurate posts with "leaked" information about layoffs is immense. There's a good reason to be skeptical, especially since the interesting bits are not whether some people will get laid off, but rather - the details (how many? Who? When?). These mostly turn out to be wrong
They are both right. Layoffs are not done in the classic sense. It’s like a constant train of people disappearing at a rate faster than hiring. But it’s not voluntary anymore, makes us want to call it a layoff.
People don’t do well with disaster and their first instinct is to deny as a coping mechanism. Similar with the pandemic.
This may just be it. Before Meta did the first giant round of cuts, layoff rumors were viewed as the ominous leaks they were, and people got their "ducks in a row". It's sad to see a group of smart people reduced to a smug "NUH-UH", followed by "WHY MEEE?" :(
I agree with the layoff thing but not sure what you mean by the pandemic.
